Thanks for the input Hans. That is originally what I thought too
because the only thing I did since the last time they worked was to
clean the area of the hazard switch. I will give that a look tonight
and maybe a better giggle.

I'm not sure about a '76 B, but in my '71 BGT this mishap appeared,
because
the hazard flash units had some contact issues. The indicator circuit is
part of this unit as well.
Remedy for me is to flick the hazard switch several times per year...
Hope this might be the simple solution for you.
Cheers,
Hans
